Shira-ae: Dressed in White

04Oct08

It’s interesting to travel the world by way of dinner. Last evening included an array of dishes from eastern Europe, Greece, and Japan. And like any trip where you plan too many activities in a very short time, the experience was perhaps odd. We ate a Japanese salad with a creamy sesame-tofu dressing. I really liked the cheerful freshness of the fruit, though it’s hidden under the dressing in the pictures.
